Part 6/8:
Another factor contributing to Edwards' development has been the addition of Julius Randle to the team. When asked about Randle's impact, Edwards expressed that Randle enhances the collective dynamics on the court. Randle’s ability to draw defensive attention allows Edwards more opportunities to establish himself as a perimeter shooter. The duo's synergy hinges on careful spacing and strategic play, with Edwards diligently working on his catch-and-shoot technique over the summer, including during his time at the Olympics alongside Curry.
Edwards reiterated the importance of his role in preventing defenses from doubling Randle, emphasizing that if he can consistently knock down shots, it makes the game easier for both of them.
